Triumph of the Mundane | Blog | design mind

It is inevitable that devices will ship with interactivity built in. But as more devices become functional, it’s going to become overwhelming to have each device be it’s own island. The three shifts discussed here: micro functionality, liberated interaction, and a clustered ecosystem all point to a new pattern of thinking: small devices with small functionality that all work together in profound ways. This is a triumph of the mundane; a challenge to our PC soaked way of thinking.

Unqualified Reservations: Wolfram Alpha and hubristic user interfaces
july 2009 by sunpig
"For serious UI geeks, one way to see an intelligent control interface is as a false affordance - like a knob that cannot be turned, or a chair that cannot be sat in. The worst kind of false affordance is an unreliable affordance - a knob that can be turned except when it can't, a chair that's a cozy place to sit except when it rams a hidden metal spike deep into your tender parts."
